3. WHAT IS TEACHER TRAINING?
 ‘Teacher Training’ Term generally used to describe the courses and qualifications that teachers
undertake and receive at the outset of their careers or one-off courses that are largely designed with a
short-term or immediate purpose in mind.
 Teacher Training or Teacher Education (TE) refers to the policies, procedures and provisions designed
to equip (prospective) teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and skills they require to
perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school and wider community.
 In other words, Teacher Training is the process of teaching & learning the knowledge skills and attitude
you need to be a teacher.
 Teacher Training includes a student teaching internship as part of college coursework. The number of
weeks of this training depends on school and state requirements. Student teaching follows the gradual
release of responsibility (“You do, we do, I do”) model with trained mentor teacher supervisor.
 Training designed to help teachers improve their teaching practices.
 Training that are for developing teachers in their professional life.
 If you became teacher then it does not mean that you don’t need any training.

4. PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
DEFICIENCIES IN SELECTION PROCEDURE:
Selection procedure of teacher education should be control by governing body
NCTE. No admission should be allowed on management seat without proper selection
procedure.
A good selection procedure would not only improve the quality of teacher education
course but also provide a suitable candidate for this pious profession. Here some
suggestions are mentioned:
a) Test of General Knowledge should be applied.
b) Test for school subjects.
c) Test for intelligence should be administered.
d) Test of language.
e) Aptitude; interest and attitude inventory should be administered.
f) Candidates should be interviewed.

5. PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
DEFECTS IN CONCERNING PAPERS :
A student teacher should know the meaning of education, its objectives, the
socio-cultural and politico-economics background, the principles that guide
construction of curriculum etc. Following steps may be taken in this connection:
(i) Allowing more time to learners for good reading and sound build-up of the
intellect and attitude
(ii) Pruning the existing course
(iii) Arranging for exchange of experience than merely attending lectures
(iv) Changing the mode of testing inputs
(v) The content must have direct implications in the daily school teaching.

6. PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
PROBLEM OF MONITOR OF
TEACHER-EDUCATION
INTITUIONS
The National Council for Teacher-
Education (NCTE) is a regulatory body
which control the functioning of these
institutions and prevent them from
becoming commercial (money making)
institutions, but because the country is
so diverse with innumerable institutions.
Some unscrupulous institutions have
become simply money making centre and
produce certified but incompetent
teachers which is a matter of great
concern because incompetency of
teachers can harm the system of
education.
PROBLEM OF SUPERVISION OF
TEACHING
The supervisory organizations for
practice teaching aims at bringing
improvement in the instructional
activity of the student teachers by using
various techniques and practical skills in
teaching and help them to develop
confidence in facing the classroom
situations. It aims at guiding in
planning their lessons, learning to
organize contents, formulating suitable
gestures and developing other related
skills. At present the lesson plans are
checked superficially and no discussion
is made by the subject method specialist.

7. PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
DEFICIENT IN FACILITIES
FOR STUDENT – TEACHER
As we know that Teacher education is the
cornerstone of education even then it
treated as step-son of education in India.
About 20% of the teacher education
institutions are being run in rented
buildings without any facility. An
experimental school or laboratory, library
and other equipments are necessary for a
good teacher education department. There
are no separate hostel facilities are
available for student.
PROBLEMS OF PRACTICE
TEACHING
Practice teaching is the most important
part of this program but inspire of all
kinds of elaborate arrangements
regarding practice in teaching, student
teachers are non-serious to the task of
teaching, deficient in sense of duty
irresponsible, aimless, indifferent to
children, lacking innovative measure in
teaching which are great obstacles in the
development of pedagogical skills.

8. PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
SEGREGATION OF
TEACHER’S EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT
As has been observed by education
commission, the teacher education has
become segregated from schools and
current development in school education.
The schools consider the teacher education
department as an alien institution and not
a nursery for the professional development
of school teacher. These departments only
observe the formality of finishing the
prescribed number of lessons no caring for
the sounders of pedagogy involved in the
procedure.
INCOMPETENCY OF
STUDENTS AND
TEACHERS
The current training program does
not provide proper opportunities to
the student teachers to develop
competency because the organizers of
teacher's training program are not
aware of the present problems of
schools. So there should be a close
matching between the work schedule
of the teacher in the program and
school adopted for teacher
preparation in a training college.

9. PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
LACK OF REGULATIONS IN
DEMAND AND SUPPLY
There is a considerable Lag between
the demand and supply of teachers.
The state Education Department has
no data on the basis of which they
may work out for the desired intake
for their institutions. This has
credited the problems of
unemployment and creates student
unrest.
LACK OF FACILITIES FOR
PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
Most of the programs are being
conducted in a routine and
unimaginative manner. Even the
association of teacher educators has not
contributed anything towards
development of a sound
professionalization of teacher education
in the country.

10. PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
DEFICIENT IN
CURRICULUM OF
THE TEACHING
SUBJECT
Curriculum of teacher
education program in India
has been criticized much.
Some educationists feel that
it does not fully address the
need of contemporary Indian
Schools and society and it
does not contain relevant
contents for teachers who are
to impart quality education
in school.
QUALITY
CONCERN OF
COURSE
Quality in education relates to the
quality of the work undertaken by a
teacher, which has significantly
effect upon his or her pupils.
Teacher education has not come up
to the requisite standards. Teachers
are not able to think critically and
solve the issues related to teaching
methods, content, organizations etc.
more knowledge of theoretical
principles is emphasized and
teachers are not able to use these
principles in actual classroom
situations.
POOR ACADEMIC
BACKGROUND OF
STUDENT-
TEACHERS
Most of candidates do not have
the requisite motivation and an
academic background for a well
deserved entry in the teaching
profession. They take admission
in teacher education program
because they could not take
admission in their desirable
course due to low performance in
such field. So after taking
admission in teacher education
program they show poor
performance.

11. PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
LACK OF SUBJECT
KNOWLEDGE
The teacher training
program does not emphasize
the knowledge of the basic
subject. The whole teaching
practice remains indifferent
with regard to the subject
knowledge of the student
teacher.
FAULTY TEACHING
METHOD
In India teacher educators
are averse to
experimentation and
innovation in the use of
teaching methods. Their
acquaintance with modern
class-room communication
devices is negligible.
INADEQUATE
EMPIRICAL
RESEARCH
Research in education has
been considerably
neglected. The research
conducted is of low quality.
Before undertaking any
research, the teacher
programs are not studied
properly.

12. SOME OTHER PROBLEMS OF TEACHER TRAINING
1. Poor standards with respect to resources for colleges of education.
2. Unhealthy financial condition of the colleges of education.
3. Negative attitude of managements towards development of both human as well as
material resources.
4. Traditional curriculum and teaching methods in the teacher education program.
5. Lacking in feedback mechanisms.
6. Objectives of teacher education not understood.
7. Secondary level teacher education is not the concern of higher education.
8. Lack of dedication of student-teacher towards the profession.
9. Unplanned and insufficient co-curricular activities.
10. Haphazard and improper organization of teacher education.
